OP Excuse the (to some of you, unfamiliar) subject line, please -- I'm Canadian. :-)
Reading the message for "filemot" sparked my interest, since its meaning, the colour of dead leaves, is also the name of a glass colour used for wine bottles. In North America, at least, the typical burgundy-style wine bottle colour is called "dead leaf green," a sexy marketing term if there ever was one, dontcha think? ;-) Most of you will be familiar with the hue -- a green / olive / yellow colour that's unique to the burgundy-style wine bottle.
I'm wondering now whether in sophisticated European wine biz circles, the colour is called filemot.
